Summary
The Highway
Killer describes a person’s car ride on a highway and his relationship
with a solitary (?) hitchhiker he picks up. As the news on the car
radio warns of a killer who stalks the highway, the driver tells the
other man that they look so much alike they could be doubles. He
confesses that he has inherited a fear of the “double” from similar
obsessions harboured by his father who was terrified by the idea that at
some point and quite unexpectedly he would meet a literal facsimile of
himself, that is to say the incarnation of Death. He adds that to avoid
being unprepared for this meeting he goes constantly up and down the
highway with his car hoping to avoid any such encounter.
